Conklin 1898 Fountain Pen – Primary Manipulation 4.5 – Yellow Gold Trim – 14K Nib
The Conklin 1898 Primary Manipulation 4.5 Fountain Pen is a vibrant modern collaboration that combines Conklin’s historic design heritage with one of the most celebrated custom resins in contemporary pen making. Featuring Primary Manipulation 4.5 acrylic created by Jonathon Brooks of Carolina Pen Company, this limited edition showcases an extraordinary swirl of color that makes every pen completely unique.
Primary Manipulation resin has become highly sought after among collectors for its dramatic depth and movement. The material blends vivid yellows, blues, purples, oranges, and subtle darker tones in a fluid, marbled composition that shifts depending on lighting and viewing angle. No two pens share the same pattern, giving each example a one-of-a-kind visual fingerprint.
The pen is finished with yellow gold-plated trim, including Conklin’s distinctive clip and cap band engraved with the historic “Conklin 1898” branding. The overall design pays tribute to the brand’s late-19th-century origins while presenting the material in a bold contemporary form.
The body follows a comfortable cigar-shaped profile, offering excellent balance whether used posted or unposted. Beneath the vibrant exterior, the pen functions as a practical everyday writer, fitted with a 14K gold nib that provides a smoother, more refined writing experience than the standard steel version often seen in the series.
For versatility, the pen uses a cartridge/converter filling system compatible with standard international cartridges or bottled ink via converter, making it easy to maintain while allowing writers to explore a wide range of inks.
Striking in color yet grounded in classic pen design, the Conklin 1898 Primary Manipulation 4.5 represents a fusion of heritage and modern artisan materials—an expressive writing instrument that stands out both in use and in a collection.
